Intro to formatting symbols in Pages on iPad
Formatting symbols (called invisibles) like the ones shown below are added every time you tap the Space bar, Tab or Return, and when you add a column break, page break or section break. On your iPhone or iPad, you can see most invisibles when you select text that includes them. To temporarily view all the symbols in your document, tap an empty corner of the page, then tap Select All.
